Who are we meant to be with?

Hey ladies. I’m in a love conflict. There’s a saying that goes “there’s the one you want and there’s the one you need”

I’m having a blues... my heart is so confused.

I’m 26 and josh began my career as a lawyer. I feel like I had a notebook relationship. Because it literally happened like that. Here’s my story.

I was madly in love with my ex boyfriend in under grad. We were happy. Then I got accepted into law school at Stanford. So I had to go. And he chose to go the Air Force. It hurt for the both of us. So as I began grad school... I met this wonderful guy and we have much in common. We have been dating for a year and we good. I’m happy with him. But here is the bomb shell.

I got back to my hometown for Labor Day weekend and for the firework show with the family on the coastal beach. I’m having a great time when I see my ex!!! We greeter one another and talked about the absence since we departed. He told me he just got back from his tour and has been discharged. I told him that I am

In relationship truthfully. He said he didn’t expect me to wait on him because we said that should move on because he didn’t want me worrying about him due to him being in a dangerous area. So I left and went back to fire with my family. We have not exchanged numbers or anything. He said that respected my relationship but if single then he would try.

So I went back to my apt after the holidays and I can’t stop thinking about him. Even my boyfriend feels I’m not there like a disconnect. So I told him that I’m just thinking about my life and furthermore my future. I’m rattled. I feel like it’s not fair how I feel. Help. I’m not sure what to do. What should I do? I can’t get the feelings out my head.
